Washington Post: Desson Thomson
Savvy without being smug, cute without being saccharin, and funny without slipping into over-the-top goofiness, this is a 14th-century good time.Read Full Review »

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
It's a reminder of the days before films got so cynical and unrelentingly violent. A Knight's Tale is whimsical, silly and romantic.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Jay Carr
A Knight's Tale, will either repel you or win you over. It won me over.Read Full Review »

Slate: David Edelstein
Simply a jolly good (k)night out.Read Full Review »

It's a dumb summer movie done with smarts.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Rita Kempley
The action scenes are beautifully mounted and photographed and offer a sense of the rigors of the sport.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Carrie Rickey
A bewildering but never boring yarn.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: A.O. Scott

Time: Richard Schickel
The result is half Python, half Ivanhoe--and not as much fun as either.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lisa Schwarzbaum
Laddish, one joke, genre scrambling rock & roll fairy tale.Read Full Review »
